Read this important thread about Georgia:
Learn more about Georgia's rickety reporting. It's so bad the state ghosts out the last 2 weeks of data on their website, as a warning to the unwary: https://t.co/UCm7zBQd6c

I love being told that I have an irrational fear of a deadly virus by people who are afraid of immigrants, LGBTQ, brown & black people, working women, windmills, vaccines, electric cars, voting by mail, universal health care, environmental protections, higher wages & face masks.

You don’t even have a fallback strategy for when reality bites. What color is the sky in your universe?
